This is your Cardiogolf 5-Minute Golf and Fitness Break where we work on our golf game and exercise at same time.

Practice something about your game everyday. #CardioGolfChallenge

Benefits of the lunge exercise include developing strength and firmness in your lower body. The twisting part of the exercise teaches you to rotate over the resistance of your lower body just like what you need to do in the golf swing.

In Cardiogolf, we do a variety of lunges in different planes of motion and at different levels. The lunging on a bench or step works the muscles differently than other lunges.  As you work to step up, you will also elevate your heart rate to increase endurance. All are good to help increase strength and mobility in lower lower body.

Reverse Lunge with Twist on a Step

• Hold an exercise ball with both hands and extend your arms.
• Lunge forward as you step on a small bench or step, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
• As you lunge, simultaneously rotate your torso towards the front leg, keeping your arms parallel to the ground, hold position for a moment.
• Return to the start position and repeat on the opposite leg.
• Do 8 to 10 repetitions on each leg.
